Welcome Aboard!

This has been defunct for a hell of a long time - life got waaaaay in the way. But if I ever pick it back up and mess with it, you’ll hear about it here!

more like new reason to work on this mod again ayyyyyyyyy

Hello everyone,  I haven’t worked on this mod in a long time but it’s one of those things I get random whims and plug along on it.  I was talking with my co-author/co-owner of the old server about the possibility of just releasing my textures and animated models as an add on pack for Custom NPCS.  I don’t have any java programming knowledge and I don’t really have the time or the energy to learn right now, so the mod has always been in this perpetual state of “looking for a coder” and we’ve never really gotten past that. While I love making the models and the textures and seeing all the villagers come to life, the rest of the stuff is scary and I have no experience doing it. On our old server (read:defunct) we only ever used the villagers as Custom NPCS. I worked in MCreator (I know, groan) to put in all these villagers with little to no AI and we used that version of the mod as a vehicle for getting them in to the game so they could interact with Custom NPCS so we could script them the exact way we wanted.  I’m always open to ideas and to any suggestions or advice from those of you that still follow us, so feel free to send me an ask if you want to chime in! I just feel that after almost 5 years (woah) of working on this project I really would love to release something tangible for people to use and enjoy, as opposed to sitting here with my folder of villagers all to myself.  Gata and I have discussed many a time about turning the old server into an adventure map, possibly to exhibit the uses of the customnpcs x animal crafting? BUT I don’t have a lot of time and neither does he anymore so thats an eternity away.  Would that be something of interest to you all?  Not sure how many of you have experience working with Custom NPCS but it was always one of my favorite mods when Gata and I ran servers.  Anyway thanks so much for all your support throughout the years, this project is far from dead its just currently in stasis. Lots of Love - Taylor, @hellocypress

Lol mod doesn’t support anything right now mate, it’s so WIP I can’t evenThe original purpose of it was for a server we ran with a bunch of friends we met through tumblr, so to answer your question yes. Our original owner could code a bit so after he paid a guy to do the first initial mod he would update it himself, after the first beta version I took over models and textures and for a bit had a small team to help.Took a hiatus for college and when I came back he’d lost the source code so we had to start over. We’ve never really had a functional version after that (2014). I cant code so we used MCreator to throw all of the pieces together which was less than desireable and meant functionality wasn’t great. So at best what we’ve got is a CustomNPC addon pack, as that’s what we used the mod for when we rebooted the server (Animal Express).If you’re interested in an old version pm me (@HelloCypress) and I can send you a copy, but as I’ve said there’s like 0 functionality. The villagers have to be spawned in and they act like testificates with no menu/dialog on right click.
